Transcription Services:

One of the toughest jobs facing any genealogical researcher is transcribing
written pages into some computer-friendly format. Lady Lavynder is not only familiar
with this problem, but well suited to help. Having worked very hard with the
Last Indian Raid Museum (Oberlin, Decatur County, KS) plus the USGENWEB -
Decatur Co. KS website, she is very skilled in converting your written
information into computer documents. Please contact her at lavynder@greyface.com
for more information.

I use the Personal
Ancestral File program available free from The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to maintain and produce a
complete Family Tree for my site. I have
spent many hours researching and entering data as a result of my work. I highly
recommend their program as it is easy to use and loaded with excellent features.
However, If you are looking for a more robust commercial program, please be sure
to take a look at Family Tree Maker.

Like so many other genealogical researchers, I have a few family surnames and
trees that are of particular interest to me. In my case it is because they are
my direct ancestors, and to some extent, of unique intrigue to me. Click HERE
to visit my Families of Interest page.

GED File Download:

GED files are a universal way to exchange information on family relationships
and individuals. The PAF program I use produces a version 5.0 GED file which may
be imported into PAF
and other programs. To download a copy of my most recent GED
file, click here. If you
have problems downloading the file, try using this link
instead.(Note: If you are NOT prompted to save the file from any of
the links here, try Right-Clicking on the link then selecting the "Save
Target As..." menu option.)

Historical Trips to Sites in North Carolina

I have had the opportunity to visit and photograph several historical sites
in and around the state of North Carolina. Because of the heavy Quaker
background in my family line, these trips have mainly been to Quaker Meeting
Houses and Cemeteries. Below are the links to the various picture pages for each
of the different trips.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):

Q: How do I get copies of the pictures on your
site?A: Find the picture you are looking for by using
either the Search Page, the Name Index or the Surname
List. When you see it in your browser, put the mouse pointer over it
and right-click the picture. A small menu should pop up with several
options shown. Choose "Save Picture As..." then select the
location (folder) on your computer where you want to save the picture.
Make sure you remember where you saved it. If you are unable to use the
above procedure, please contact me directly using the email address
shown at the top of this page.

Q: Can I search
for a specific name or place on your site?A: Yes, I have provided a simple
search page that lets you do some rather powerful searches. You may enter a
name, a place, or even a date and you will receive a list of pages containing
your query words.

LavynderCalc:

LavynderCalc
is a simple program that eases one of the more mundane math chores in
Genealogical Research; calculating birth date, age at death, and death date. Free
to all, easy to use, we think you'll like using it.

Here are just a few of the places I have found very useful. If you have any
additional resources you think might be beneficial here, please write to either
